it turns out that an april 12, the carl vinson carrier strike group was 3500 miles away from the crane peninsula. it's like saying a ship off the coast of san diego is headed to new york. i mean, it's just -- it's not even remotely true. i think one of the reasons why the president made that statement incorrectly was that the president, i'm told, was not consulted at all about the movement of the carl vinson carry strike group. this was a decision made by pacific command by admiral harris and the white house only found out about it when the navy issued its press release. the president in effect was taking credit for a muscular move that he played actually no role in deciding. >> barry, this is when i ask you about the new and developing relationship between a political novice who is now commander in chief of all u.s. military forces and a standing military, jeremy's old shop at the pentagon, which is a force unto ite h itself. >> it's going to be a very difficult period. there's no question about it. i think the good news is, look, the secretary general jim mattis, an stable guy, the a
